Hello Everyone,

So it is me wonder luck with yet another burning question. I need advice on how to hand raise my 5, one week old pups. Bridget as many of you know was diagnosed with preeclampsia prior to her c-section. At 4 am this morning I awoke to her panting and shaking. I rushed her to the ER and she is right not on IV meds to help her.

She has been on lots of calcium, I have a dairy bar going on for her food ( literally at least 3 dishes of diffrent calcium options for food out all the time) yet she still has the problems. So now I am faced with hand raising these puppies for at the vets reccomendation I need to limit her with the puppies, they are thinking at most 1 feeding from her a day. That is if she does ok, any signs of it happening again, they would be cut off.

So who has been through this before with young pups? I have one time, but the puppies were 4 weeks, so it was easier to deal with. these will be the smallest babies I have had to hand raise. I need your help and suggestions. I have powdered milk ( esbliac) on hand and 2 of the pre-mix. I would like to be ahead of the learning curve so to speak so any help would be great. Thanks in advance...

This has been a rough week for a few of us here, hard to believe so much could go so wrong.. Thanks everyone
